Listen "Sacred Time – The Rhythms and Seasons of the Soul"
Episode Synopsis
This episode explores time as a sacred dimension shaping spiritual life across cultures and religions. Judaism honors sacred time through Shabbat and a cycle of festivals that bring rest, reflection, and renewal. Christianity follows the story of Jesus across seasons like Advent, Lent, and Easter, guiding believers through rhythms of hope, sacrifice, and rebirth. Islam sanctifies each day through five daily prayers and each year through Ramadan—transforming time into discipline, gratitude, and devotion. Hinduism views time as cyclical and cosmic, marked by festivals that celebrate renewal, harvest, and divine victory. Buddhism teaches that every moment can be sacred when approached with awareness, while Vesak and lunar festivals honor the Buddha’s life. Sikhism structures sacred time through daily prayer and community celebrations. Indigenous cultures follow the rhythms of nature—solstices, harvests, moons—understanding time as relational, circular, and alive. Through intimate stories of Sabbath candles, Ramadan sunsets, and dawn meditation, the episode reveals that sacred time not only marks life but enriches it, reminding us that every moment holds meaning when lived with intention.
